From the white wines of the Russian River Valley to the white sands of the Central American Coast, we are thrilled to set voyage on this 10-day cruise that launches from Miami, crosses the Caribbean and explores the warm coastlines, crystalline waters and jungles of Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and Belize.
Wander among the historic furnishings of the Truman Little White House in Key West, Florida. Seek out crocodiles, flamingos, iguanas and pelicans near the shores of the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve near Costa Maya, Mexico, or venture deeper into the coastal jungle to catch a glimpse of howler monkeys, toucans or even a reclusive puma or jaguar. Swim with dolphins and snorkel with vibrant tropical fish in the protected island waters of Roatan, Honduras, a scenic stop along the massive Mesoamerican Barrier Reef. Relax on extraordinary beaches with fruity cocktails and jicama fries, or dive deep among brilliant underwater caverns during an overnight stay in Cozumel, Mexico.
At J, a new experience is always on the menu — whether it’s an immersive culinary demonstration in the vineyard, an exploration of caviar in the Bubble Room or a new cheese pairing at our Legacy Lounge.
